securing a sub enclosure

now that i got everything connected i need to secure the sub (enclosure) to my trunk somehow. but i don't really wanna drill and bolt it onto anything... any ideas or suggestions?

i used velcro strips before. you can buy them at fabric and hardware stores. its a velcoro strip that has a sticky glued side on both pieces, so you can peel and stick them where you feel like. worked great, but tore up the carpet great when removed.

i have now purchased one of those anti slip mats for hosehold carpeting and such, but haven't tried to install it yet. my enclosure is currently wedged in the trunk between the trunk wall and a piece of foam.

i think velcro and drilling are your best bets. cause imo weding it in there just looks bad. no offence to whitegoose. i always just used l brackets and some small sheet mettle screws.

your right, wedging it doesnt look good. i just havent got around to securing it any better way yet. might get some stuff done on the car this weekend though

i have a back strap (metal strap with lots of holes in in it) folded in half for more strength and i have it drill to the back of the box and drilled to the rear deck by where the seats latch to the deck. It works pretty good and you cant see it unless you pull the seats down....you can also try to wedge it in place with something

what i did is i attached both of my amps to the side of the enclosure and put it against the back seat... amps will hold it on turns and its massive wait will stop it leaning or flipping back on acceleration, the only think it's not secured of is bumps... my car is lowered and it's pretty bouncy in the back so i gotta put some foam i guess between the trunk lid and the sub box to stop it from flying up or just wrap it around with belt or something.... i'll take a pic and post it tonight
